What have you seen eat garden skinks?

[SLACkra]

Thought it would be a interesting topic for a thread as many of us have them living in our backyards. I never really noticed anythign eating them before untill the grey shrike thrushes arived. not that great to look at a grey colour but thier calls are quite amazing. I now regularly see them with a garden skink by the neck! so what eats garden skinks in your area(cats dogs and other random pets do not count!)

My dog would probably eat them if she could catch them. Quite a sight to see her jumping around the garden chomping on the dirt :lol:

I agree with codeth, There is always burtons in my backyard, I rescued one from a cat attack a few weeks ago, left him in a click clack for a few hours to calm it before releasing , and it had regurgitated a good sized skink. Unfortunately I am sure that the cane toads get their fair share as well.

I've seen copper tailed skinks (Ctenotus taeniolatus) feeding on hatchling garden skinks.

My pitcher plant ate an AHG (sorry, not skinks)

I had Diamond hatchling years ago that would only eat skinks for months, bot was I glad when he moved onto pinky mice. Catching garden skinks sucked big time!!
